18．Life is difficult．
It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it，then life is no longer difficult．
Most do not fully see this truth．Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy．It seems to them that their difficulties represent （代表） a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families，their class，or even their nation．
What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one．Problems，depending on their nature，cause in us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear．These are uncomfortable feelings，often as painful as any kind of physical pain．And since life causes an endless series of problems，life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy．
Yet，it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning．Problems are the serious test that tells success from failure．When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit，we encourage the human ability （能力） to solve problems，just as in school we set problems for our children to solve．It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn．As Benjamin Franklin said，"Those things that hurt，instruct．"It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems．
32．From the passage，it can be inferred thatC．
A．everybody has problems
B．we become stronger by facing and solving the problems of life
C．life is difficult because our problems bring us pain
D．people like to complain about their problems
33．The main idea of Paragraph 3 is thatD．
A．most people feel life is easy
B．the writer feels life is easy

C．help them learn to deal with pain
D．teach them how to respect for problems

13．In its early history，Chicago had floods frequently，especially in the spring，making the streets so muddy that people，horses，and carts got stuck．An old joke that was popular at the time went something like this：A man is stuck up to his waist in a muddy Chicago street．Asked if he needs help，he replies，"No，thanks．I've got a good horse under me．"
The city planner decided to build an underground drainage （排水） system，but there simply wasn't enough difference between the height of the ground level and the water level．The only two options were to lower the Chicago River or raise the city．
An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt．This raised the level of the city's streets by as much as 12 feet．
This of course created a new problem：dirt practically buried the first floors of every building in Chicago．Building owners were faced with a choice：either change the first floors of their buildings into basements，and the second stories into main floors，or hoist the entire buildings to meet the new street level．Small wood-frame buildings could be lifted fairly easily．But what about large，heavy structures like Tremont Hotel，which was a six-story brick building？
That's where George Pullman came in．He had developed some house-moving skills successfully．To lift a big structure like the Tremont Hotel，Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews （螺旋千斤頂） beneath the building's foundation．One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10 jackscrews．At Pullman's signal each man turned his jackscrew the same amount at the same time，thereby raising the building slowly and evenly．Astonishingly，the Tremont Hotel stay open during the entire operation，and many of its guests didn't even notice anything was happening．Some people like to say that every problem has a solution．But in Chicago's early history，every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem．Now that Chicago's waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River，the ci ty's next step was to clean the polluted river．
29．The author mentions the joke to showB．
A．horses were fairly useful in Chicago
B．Chicago's streets were extremely muddy
C．Chicago was very dangerous in the spring
D．the Chicago people were particularly humorous
30．The city planners were convinced by Ellis Chesbrough toD．
A．get rid of the street dirt               
B．lower the Chicago River
C．fight against heavy floods
D．build the pipes above ground
31．What can we conclude about the moving operation of the Tremont Hotel？A
A．It went on smoothly as intended．
B．It interrupted the business of the hotel．
C．It involved Pullman turning ten jackscrews．
D．It separated the building from its foundation．

3．The baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital．She is quiet but alert （警覺）．Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it．She stares at it carefully．A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another，this time with the spots differently spaced．As the cards change from one to the other，her gaze（凝視） starts to lose its focus-until a third，with three black spots，is presented．Her gaze returns：she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card．Can she tell that the number two is different from three，just 24 hours after coming into the world？
     Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer？The same experiment，but with three spots shown before two，shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes．Perhaps it is just the newness？When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects （a comb，a key，an orange and so on），changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves．Could it be the pattern that two things make，as opposed to three？No again．Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three，or three to two．The effect even crosses between senses．Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two； likewise （同樣地） when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots．
32．The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the baby'sA．
A．sense of sight                         
B．sense of hearing          
C．sense of touch                         
D．sense of smell
33．Babies are sensitive to the change inD．
A．the size of cards                                     
B．the color of pictures
C．the shape of patterns                              
D．the number of objects
34．Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats？A
A．To carry their experiment further．
B．To reduce the difficulty of the experiment．
C．To see how babies recognize sounds．
D．To keep the babies'interest．
35．Where does this text probably come from？C
A．Science fiction．
B．Children's literature．
C．A science report．
